Professor Heller said he believed, for example, that the religious objection to teaching evolution is one of the greatest misunderstandings because it introduces a contradiction or opposition between God and chance.

One really needn't work too hard to find clues as to why NYT finds it useful to run such a story.

Separately, let's distinguish, please, between "the theory of evolution" as a cause for the existence of life or species, and "evolution," which is synomymous with "adaptation," as a natural occurance manifested in existing life and species.

Yeah, do you think we're smart enough to make that distinction, academia? Do you, NYT? If I can do it, you can do it. If you want to.
